All people in the United States, have certain constitutional protections, regardless of immigration status. Knowing and exercising your rights makes a huge difference during ICE contacts because Immigration has the burden of proof to show a person is inadmissible or removable. Red cards were created to help the immigrant community assert their rights and defend themselves against constitutional violations. Red cards remind community people of their rights, & should be handed to ICE upon contact to inform them that you are asserting your constitutional rights. ​
